PCSK9 Inhibition Attenuates Renal Oxidative Stress and Lipotoxicity in Diabetic Kidney Disease in Association with AMPK Activation

Renal lipotoxicity and oxidative stress are major contributors to diabetic kidney disease (DKD), but the role of proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) and its relationship with AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) signaling remain unclear. We investigated the effec...
